@Pundii: Day 5!
@Oliver If you live near New England, then you might have what I had. :P
@Nallore Need a slight edit. Alex's body is on the seventh floor, as well as the dumbwaiter. The fourth floor is normal hotel rooms that guests can rent. Fifth floor is Andromeda's family floor. Sixth and seventh floors are not in use. Seventh floor is where Alex died.




Ah, my children, is it time for another hint? Very well. As overused as the phrase is, the truth can be stranger than fiction--or perhaps, it is simply just as strange. There is a secret hidden in that attic, closeted away, so to speak. Perhaps a bit of history about the hotel could serve you well. There is a reason that the sixth and seventh floors are not used, a reason that Andromeda's family lives on the fifth, and a reason that the attic is boarded up. Of course, can you discover those reasons before the reaper comes for you?

Let's see, shall we?

"What?!" Andromeda whispered, her eyes wide. "Fucking fantastic...A murder in the horror themed hotel." It would drive up business, but Andromeda hated the hospitality industry as a whole. And she could already tell that any investigation would be confusing. But nonetheless, she took out her cell phone and called the murder in, explaining to the dispatcher all she knew--that someone had been murdered in the Coventry Horrors Hotel. "Police are on their way. Did you apprehend the perp?" Andromeda asked. A funny feeling told her that this had to do with her father's death--if only she knew how.

Aloise and Liam arrive at the seventh floor without much issue. "Took you long enough," Aloise commented, her gun with rock-salt rounds at the ready. The marine had already done a brief scan of the area, finding nothing of interest on the floor. However, she had her gun at the ready, just in case anything attacked. "Whatever it is, I think it's probably gone by now," Aloise added. "Could be human...but I doubt it."

The floorboards above Aloise and Liam started to creak, and Aloise glanced up quickly. Little things of dust were coming down from where the attic entrance was boarded up, as if someone was upstairs. Her finger on the trigger, Aloise listened as the sounds stopped. She spun around, seeing as the O.M.E.N. agent and Eudora emerged on the seventh floor. "Who are you two?" she asked calmly.

"Agent Keenan, O.M.E.N.," the agent replied. He recognized hunters when he saw them. "We need you two to step aside. This is an official O.M.E.N. investig--"

But his words were cut off. The ceiling creaked and groaned, and a moment later, it simply wasn't there anymore. Aloise threw herself to the ground, shoving Liam out of the way as a wardrobe fell through the ceiling, landing where they had been standing a moment before. Eudora was completely unscathed, but the wardrobe had a glass pane on the outer door, and it smashed, sending shards into the leg of the O.M.E.N. agent.

"Valeska's up there," Agent Keenan groaned, forcing himself to his feet.

"The girl they like for the murders?" Aloise asked, raising an eyebrow. It seemed Coventry wouldn't be a quiet job for Liam and her after all.


Jack Hudson

Location: The Wedding Site (Near 10 - Medical Garden)


Jack's eyes widened in shock a bit, when Ray confessed to him his thoughts. He recalled the day that he had proposed to Tatiana, the way he had trembled like the little bird Tatiana was, holding out to her the simple ring made of a heart shaped knot. And as terrifying as it had been, he had been certain--and he was still certain, more certain in his love for Tatiana than anything else.

"If she makes you happy, an' you can't imagine life without her, do it," Jack advised, nodding at his best man. However, he didn't have time to say much more. The woman in question walked down the aisle, meeting Ray and pinning the boutonniere on him. Jack smiled at Tiffany, rubbing the back of his head nervously as she asked him if he was ready.

"Nah, Tatiana ain't the lucky one," Jack corrected. "I am. She's...she's just so amazin'. Almost like a dream."

As Tiffany and Ray kissed, and she headed back to take her seat, Jack let his eyes look over the crowd. Almost everyone in Newnan was present, aside from those on security detail. Sana and Dick were sitting next to each other, the Ridgeway sisters, Amelia, and Ryan had formed a small group. He grinned as he spotted Miss Sally, sitting next to Lyon, the French gangster. For a moment, Jack mused to himself that love could be found even at an old age.

However, the woman in red caught his attention more than anything. His memories of Zoie were rather dim, with him hardly recalling the way the woman spoke, or what she was like. All he remembered was that she had set Tatiana and him at ease, welcoming them into the community. And the woman in red, she must have been the twin sister of the deceased woman.

Shaking Ash's hand in turn, Jack felt like there were butterflies in his stomach when Ash announced that the ceremony would be starting shortly. Any second now, he'd be able to catch a glimpse of Tatiana, to see her all dolled up in her wedding dress. He already knew she'd look beautiful--she always did.


Beatrice Decker

Location: The Wedding Site (Near 10 - Medical Garden)


Beatrice had taken a seat by herself in the back, watching as people trickled into the wedding site. She couldn't help but roll her eyes as she overhead Sana's remark. Hadn't McCarthyism ended already? Or was the Red Scare really coming back? Countries didn't matter much any more, and she hardly felt there was a point in emphasizing the bride's Russian descent.

And then, of course, there seemed to be more events in terms of the music. Looked like Riley got her music situation resolved. Her attention was more caught by Tiffany taking a seat, perhaps one of her few friends in Newnan. They had bonded over a mutual interest in law, an interest that was practically obsolete now. The woman in the red dress caught her attention as well, whom Beatrice assumed had to be the secret sister of the dead second of Newnan.

But truthfully, all of the petty drama of Newnan was perhaps a bit boring. She sat back in her chair, hoping that the wedding would be over shortly.


Chloe Ridgeway

Location: The Wedding Site (Near 10 - Medical Garden)


As Riley leapt up and hugged Beni in thanks for the CD player, Chloe couldn't help but grin and chuckle. If their parents, wherever those assholes were, could have seen one of their daughters tell a man I could kiss you, they would have been thrilled. Ecstatic. Perhaps they would have welcomed that daughter back into the family, all with the condition of conversion therapy, and a billion meetings with the local pastor.

Of course, as Ryan flopped down next to her, Chloe couldn't help but muse someone else would've been rather happy if the Ridgeway twins weren't incredibly gay. "Country? Guess it's to be expected," Chloe agreed with a sigh. She'd never been a huge fan of country music, tending to prefer songs that might be played at a rave. "But at least it's something, right?" Chloe added, elbowing her sister lightly as a way of showing affection. It was the first time Riley got to perform in ages, and of course she wanted things to go perfectly for her sister. But if perfection wasn't possible, she'd at least try her best to keep Riley's spirits up.

"Depends. What're we betting?" Chloe asked, her interest slightly piqued. Beyond the limited information Meg had told them, Chloe didn't know much about the situation that had gone done. She made yet another mental note to pester Ryan later that evening until he told her everything. It was one benefit of his obsession with her.

She snickered as Miss Sally told him off, not bothering to hold back her smile. At his request for popcorn, Chloe couldn't help but nod in agreement. It had been years since she had gotten to enjoy some popcorn. The prison she was incarcerated, while her trial was pending, didn't have that sort of luxury. "Popcorn'd be amazing. Just in general. But I'll bet you that Jack'll sob first. Any terms, within reason."

Then, Chloe caught her first glimpse of Thana. For a new arrival to Newnan, everything seemed to have come together for her in time. She wore a beautiful red dress, and Chloe couldn't help but find the woman to be incredibly beautiful. From Dick's reaction, she guessed that Thana and Zoie were identical twins. Personally, Chloe found it was better to be fraternal--to not share a face with someone else.


Ravi Chakrabarti

Location: Five miles west of Newnan, abandoned cabin in the woods


While there was a fresh corpse upstairs, the fact that Gavin had managed to get the information about the woman's attackers was rather welcome. It would have been absolute rubbish if the girl had died, and no justice could be brought to her. It was a sad set of circumstances that was all too common in this day and age. Before the world had ended, Ravi had been able to use his skills to help bring about justice and healing.

Now, he mostly used them to prolong the inevitable.

"Brilliant, I'm assuming you don't have much of a plan," Ravi commented, with the slightest hint of a smirk. Gavin tended to be a bit hasty with decisions and actions, rushing off to battle without a second thought. It sometimes made Ravi seriously ponder how the man hadn't gotten himself killed yet. And of course, if some misfortune did happen to Gavin, Ravi would feel that he only had himself to blame. He couldn't stand the killings that this world required, a certain softness or innocence that caused him to still see everything as human, on one level or another.

"Peachtree City? No wonder we let you lot declare independence, that name's rubbish," Ravi joked, heading up the stairs of the cabin and grabbing the girl's pack. It did have some food to it, and with the harshness of winter, it could only be a help. If he thought his argument might have had some sway, he'd tell Gavin that they should set up a base in the cabin, until the snow had dwindled--but he doubted sincerely that it would.

Coming back down the stairs, the girl's pack consolidated inside of his own as to be easier to carry, Ravi smiled grimly at Gavin. "Don't get yourself killed, mate. I don't think I'd be able to collect the life insurance policy."
Got a post halfway done, will get it fully completed after class and then put it up ^^
@rivaan Don't worry, Virginia can help Mosi kill the man while Fyror dances with Milli ^_~
